August 23
-The five hour bus ride to Versailles from Bruges was not too unbearable as the bus driver had beer for sale, and we all watched the Shawshank Redemption and slept. Actually, I think we slept more on the bus during this whole study trip than we did in our own beds back in Maas.
-Versailles was truely a huge, extravagent clusterf*ck of a palace. Seriously worse than the lift lines in Vail over the holidays. If you could snap a picture of anything without the top of some as...

... a ton of baggage. I thought I was traveling light, but without wheels it gets heavy after a while. Luckily Schipol airport has free baggage carts. My train from Amsterdam to Paris leaves at 12:26 so I have plenty of time to get my bearings. The one thing that really caught my eye was the smoking area. For the whole huge airport it’s one tiny booth which the others in the booth tell me they keep moving around and not telling anyone.<br ...
Paris, Île-de-France, France fec... was bad, I should have waited five minutes. She rolled me over and did the other side of my body. Honestly, I have small boobs. My boobs are so small as to be nearly nonexistant. Therefore, I'd like to keep what I do have, thanks. This woman attacked my chest with incredible vigour. I thought I was going to lose what endowment I did have then and there, that they'd just slough off with the rest of my skin. Luckily, she stopped before that unfortunate incident ...
Paris, Île-de-France, France gallopmonkey... the load between Scott and I and Aimee could just carry the stuff we would need on the train and other miscellaneous things we might need on the fly. Having learned my lesson in Wales this time I packed for the cold and had my polar gear as well as multiple sweaters. There was no way I was going to get stuck in the situation of being cold and having all my warm gear soaking wet again. Having made sure we had our passports and tickets we headed ...
Paris, Île-de-France, France devinwatson... will be closed for weeks before the games to cut back on the pollution and the smog. China is doing its best to make sure that it looks good in the eyes of the world when the world comes to visit in August. "Good," to China means peaceful, clean, modern, and uniform. Unfortunately, it's sweeping everything that doesn't fit its new image as a modern power under the carpet and hoping that the rest of the world won't notice that the carpet is there. But it is. With regards to ...
Paris, France laura99... 10. That left one counter operational. There were two young ladies in it. What they conversed with the passengers for so long is still a mystery. The discussion was very animated though. A lot of laughing and various exaggerated expressions on face, while the line kept growing. We were fairly ahead but my heart went out to those who were joining the tail of the rapidly growing serpentine line. visit www.anishawasthi.com for all my blogs, photos videos etc.
Paris, France anishawasthi... look at the sea, despite living on the coast. In my opinion, London is filled with beautiful, interesting and intriguing architecture. The same, I would say, for Paris. However, it is also true that as I move about the city (excepting the banlieues) the architecture changes little. I'm not sure what point I'm trying to make (if any!) but I suppose I could say that whilst London is a sight simply because it is a mish-mash of different designs, Paris is a sight because ...
Paris, France travellingmango... Au Printemps and the rest of us for more of Ile de la Cite. We checked out the prospective car park in front of Notre Dame which hit a hitch when they discovered ancient roman ruins dating back to the third century. It is now called Crypte Archeologique. From there we went off to see Marie Antoinette's last digs, the prison of the Conciergerie. Mark found this disappointing as there was not a guillotine in sight! From there we strolled over to the smaller ...
Paris, France mcnamaras... of nothing with greater meaning for me to give. Anyway, the medal for my mother is now in my bag (hope to God I don't lose it in the next month of travel!) and I think Mom is going to like it. This is as 'special' or original as it gets for this specific thing. From ru de Bac I Metro-ed about a bit and made my way back to the heart of town. Still waiting for rain, I went to Saint Chappelle- where the line wended its way down the entire block and was 8 to 10 people wide ...
Paris, France tomsmidlife... the pavillions outside, and Lindsay and i even danced Sevillanas for the guards. I purchased a new hoodie for myself, and although i won't really be able to wear it until the fall, i'm glad that i found one here that i love and fits me perfectly. By this time, it was almost 7:30 and we were exhausted and needing a chance to relax. We headed back towards the hotel, picked up a bottle of champagne and had some serious girl time. Chelsea and I talked for a looooooong time about life ...
